PR Week have cottoned onto the '100 Most Influential'-type list vehicle but have only managed 29 names for its survey of bright, new talent in the communications business.

One name that catches my eye is Olly kendall, former Deputy Head of Press for Charles Kennedy, enough to 'challenge' anyone.

I dealt with Olly a few times and he's a bright talent. Amazed he's not been coaxed back by Clegg. I think he was involved as an informal adviser for Clegg's leadership bid.

He's also a good writer. Check out his piece on conference speechwriting here.
